nobody is disrespecting him its just that the things he does on the team this year are replaceable in an adequate manner, he plays elite 1 on 1 defense but how many times have opponents let him go 1 on 1 defense? They try to push the tempo and run him off screens and it works. Guys like Meeks, Blake and heck Kobe may not do much better on defense than he does but our team will do better on offense with more fluidity and floor balance, he was clearly disruptive in that aspect all year. It was an up and down year for MWP, he was great but at the same time he did those ridiculous 3 on 1 fastbreaks or not passing the ball to Nash at some of the most critical points in the games, it was aggravating.

We really can't build any chemistry with all these injuries happening... the rotation has been like a revolving door. We need more stability than this... What a nightmare of a season. Not one guy can stay healthy. MWP was the only starter who had been healthy up until now.

We need bodies (preferably talented bodies but beggars can't be choosers). Metta going down made it crystal clear this team is the walking dead and they definitely need a coach and game plan tailored to the aged and slow roster.

7-8 guys playing almost the entire game. That's a recipe for...this season

You do not see things as they are, you see things as you are.

At this stage im not sure if its an act or not but i know that i really like Metta World Peace as a human being (what is presented publicly).

Dudes come a long way and he seems like off the court he is simply searching for everyday happiness.

Props to Ron for LIFE
